THE EVENING STAR

The Ctplire ?! the
The detailed account* given of tne capture
of the rebel ram Tennessee correct eeverai pre
yioas errors. It appears that Her captnre was
mainly due to the Monitors, which nere
tofore been represented am taking little share in
the fight.
TUB blAPtRATI FIOST WITH TH1 RIBIl FLBBT
-admibal tahraovt fights blaq
gUIP FOB riABSHIP.
The light with the reoei rieet wis more des
perate and resulted in the greatest losses. Far
ragut designed the Monitors to tight the reb?l
ironclads; but they maneuvered too rapidly
and moved too quickly for at. Farragut had
anchored, when the Tennessee, having shaken
off the Monitors, was seen coming after him.
He immediately called to quarters, with there
mark, "If it must be flagship for flagship, ad
miral for admiral, 1 am willing." ?
The lebel ram came on with great speed,
aiming to run the Hartford down. T&e latter
was handled with wonderful skill. As he saw
hie adversary comic*. Farragut waited the op
portune moment, and, then, turning his stnp
slightly, gave her headway, and, instead of
being struck himself, dealt the ram a fearful
blow, which must have shook her terribly.
The two boa's then slided alongside against
each other, side to side, both discharging their
broadsides. Those of the Tennessee passed
directly through the Hartford. The Hart
ford's solid nine-inch shot glanced upward
from the heavy casemates of the Tennessee and
flew away into the air.
The encounters were frequent during the ac
tion, not only between the ram and the Hart
ford, but also with the Lackawanna, Monon
gahela and Brooklyn, which with the Moni
tors, came to the aid of the heroic old flagship.
Time fails me at this opportunity to write the
detailed account of this remarkable flght,
which deserves volumes lor its record of hero
ism. courage and determination displayed on
both sides. I shall ask space for the fuller ac
count in a few daye.
THE Kin AL SHOT A T THB TimnttBH
The final shot that terminated the career of
the Rebel vessel was fired by the Monitor
Chickasaw, which passed close nnder the
?tern, giving her the full welghtof two 11 Inch
solid shots from her bow turret, which dam
aged the cover ef the ram's stern post. Buch
anan went ait with his engineer to readjust
the port cover. While engaged in this opera
tion the Chickasaw brought her after turret to
bear, one shot from which carried away the
tiller chains of the Tennessee, rendering her
unmanageable, while the other, entering the
damaged port, killed one man and fractured
Buchanan'a leg with splinters.
THB TEMNK8f?BK RURRBNDBRB.
Having already lost her smoke stack, the
Rebel ship was now utterly helpless. She
was therefore surrendered at once, haul
ing down her colors to the Chickasaw, Lieu
tenant Commander Ferkina commanding.
BABRAGCT REGARDS BfCHANAH AS HIS BN
BHT, AHD DBCLWB8 TO SBB HIM.
When Farragut was notified ot the surren
der he sent an officer off to receive Buchanan's
Eword. On learning of Buchanan's wound, an
officer acked Farragut if he wonld go off and
see him. Farragut looked along his decks,
strewn with dead and dying mangled com
rades, and red with the blood of others who
bad fallen and been removed, and then re
plied, ?* "With these brave men before me killed
and mangled by him, 1 consider him but my
enemy. 1 want nothing to do with him."
ATTEMPTED BSC'AI'K AND CAPTCRB OK THE
SILMA.
While the fight with the Tennessee was
going on the rebel gunboat Selma attempted to
escape up the bay. Several gunboats started
in pursuit. The Metacomet being the faster,
overhauled her, after a chase of a few miles,
and with a single shell from her 10O-pounder
Farrott, which explodeu fairly on the deck of
the rebel vessel, killed or wounded'every man
on board. Her colors were at once struck, and
she was brought back to the fleet a prize to the
Metacomet, Lieut. Com'r Jewett. She is a flne
vessel, of light dranght, and carrying an ar
mament of four heavy guns, including a Im
pounder Brooks rifle.
DBSCBirTIOn OB THE BAM TETfHBSSBE.
The Tennessee is the most complete and for
midable iron-clad monster afloat. She was
considered periectly in vulnerable. Her model
and construction are similar to those of the
Merrimac, of Hampton Roads fame, though
she is a staoncher and more formidable ship.
Her length is two hundred feet; breadth, forty
eight. Her casemates have a backing of three
inenes of oak, covered with sixteen inches of
yellow pine, crossed. On this there is a per
pendicular layer of iron plates, three inches in
thickness, covered transversely by a second
layer ot two-inch iron, topped by a third layer
perpendicular, one inch thick, making nine
teen inches of wood and six of iron. These
casemates hang over her hull, protecting it
completely. Her decks are covered with double
plates of two-inch iron crossed, laid on heavy
timber. Her armament consisted of six rifled
guns?two of seven-inch calibre and four ot
six and three-quarters?all of the Brooks pat
tern. She draws fourteen feet eight inches of
water. She is worked by two splendid high
Sressure engines, driving a geared propeller,
[er port covers are of flve-ineh iron, worked
by cogs from within. Her complement was
o?? hundred and eighty s?ven men, officers
aiid all. Two-were killed aboard of her, and
three cr four wounded. The vessel will be
repaired at a trifling cost. One fifteen-inch
shot penetrated her casemates amidship. This
was the only effective shot in her armor. She
was struck beyond count, showing a battering
on all sides enough to demolisb any craft.
